Hello there,. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I am grateful that I am able to be an attorney. I feel like my natural talents and desires pair well with this career. I have always enjoyed performing from a very young age. I do not remember the name of the first production that I was involved in, but I do remember that I was an elf that sang a solo as Elvis. I have been hooked ever since. Some of my favorite shows that I have done are Romeo and Juliet, A Winter’s Tale, Hamlet, and Bus Stop. There is a wonderful feeling that accompanies performing for an audience. I believe that this talent for performance will assist me while I negotiate settlements or persuade a jury why they should find in my client’s favor.. I also have a very competitive side. I believe that being competitive is a trait that every attorney should possess. My father enrolled me in all kinds of sports from a very young age. I remember him coaching me and pushing me to be my very best. I am very grateful for my father. Ever since I was young, he instilled in me the importance of competition. My frame is not necessarily built for football. However, my dad helped me to learn to believe in myself and to not make excuses. Throughout high school I would workout twice a day and study defenses around the clock. By the time I was a senior, I was able to lead my football team to a state championship and I was named to the all-state team. I am very grateful for the lessons in competition that my father and various sports have taught me. I know these traits will assist me as I argue relentlessly for my clients.. I believe that serving others is very important. I volunteered in Toronto, Canada for two years serving those with lesser means. I am not sure if I have ever been happier than when I was serving those around me full-time and not taking too much time to think about myself. Currently, I volunteer in my church organization and teach and mentor high school students. Serving others has helped me to understand and empathize better with those around me. This increased understanding and empathy will assist me as I connect with my clients during some of their most difficult times.. I graduated from Arizona State University for my undergraduate degree but knew that I wanted to live in Los Angeles. My wife and I both have an intense love for this city. We love the many cultures and rich history of Los Angeles. We love the arts. I graduated from Loyola Law School and have not looked back. Los Angeles is my home and I am grateful for the warm welcome that I have received.. I am excited for the future and I hope that Lucero & Yeretsian LLP will be your first choice when you need an attorney.. Sincerely,. George A. Lucero, Esq.
